Hello my fellow travelers! This is the third and final post about my trip to India in 2005 together with my parents and my uncle Anders.

A Small Swede in the Big World

I'm a small Swede that simply just love to travel. I haven't been around as much as I'd wish to yet, but my life long goal is to visit all the countries in the world. I still have a long way to go before that mission is accomplished though. I live with my two cats and one spider in Alvesta, a small city outside of Växjö where I try to host people from all over the world as often as I can. If you need a place to stay, just look me up on couchsurfing.org and send me a request. My living I make working as a insurance adviser, it's a soft job with plenty of free time.

Goa
Goa Historical City Center is on our list of places we want to visit. Have you heard of the Indian stairewells? Next time I go to India I will plan to include a few of those. Many of them are quite spectacular, and very much a hidden gem as well. /Ake

Family Holiday
What a lovely family holiday this seems to have been for you. I like all your photos of the local hotel wildlife! ? And how lovely to have invited one of the local vendors to dinner. It seems to have been a really good trip for you all, and I imagine good inspiration for your further travels ?

Aye, it's a shame that we haven't had any family trips since then but who knows, perhaps we'll have one again someday. But it certainly was a good one. :) The local vendors were really cool, I'm happy he was invited in, it was such a good gesture. =)
